It's just so difficult to grasp that seemingly intelligent and functioning people could be so ridiculously naive and gullible (the parents & family, not so much the children).
It's hard to hate them, and the doc. sort of shows them in a sympathetic light, but holy crap. How did her parents survive into adulthood, let alone know how to have children.

Just watched Abducted in Plain Sight... Those poor kids.
It’s really quite unbelievable. I would like to hear some serious thoughts on this one, but wouldn’t want to give up any spoilers on those who haven’t seen it.
I thought they were so expensive because they were made of Unicorn Urine? I'm not believing anything that guy who lives under the overpass tells me ever again!

Only 4-5 episodes in so far, but the second season of Punisher is such a disappointment.
Does it get better?
I thought it started off well enough but after about 8 episodes in season 1 it went downhill. Season 2 became silly war dialogue in conversations. I wish they just stuck to a good story but season 2 was a little over the top with being to the brink of death then coming back superhuman. Silly.

I’m currently watching season 2 now and my gosh the teen girl is annoying. I’ve been wanting anyone to just kill her. Good riddance if that happened. I know it won’t occur but if it did, that is enough to keep me happy.

I felt in season 2 the acting from all of them got really bad. I liked the John Pilgrim character though. If they used him more and built his character more, the season would have been alright. Instead they relied on the silly story-line between Billy and Dina, and even worse, their acting. I really wished they killed most of them off early because that storyline was so bad, but the acting was a whole other level of b-level.

Tried watching the Ken Jeong comedy special. He's great in movies but this special seems to just be a excuse for him to swear constantly. I mean, I enjoy swearing, but not swearing just for the sake of swearing.
Apparently the Punisher and Jessica Jones have both been cancelled. Dammit.

Did anyone watch the Umbrella Academy?
I thought it looked really entertaining and am planning to watch it.
Watched about 20 minutes before having to do something else. It’s intriguing. I will get back to it. Kind of had an Iron Fist vibe to it, but better acting.
